04/4/2017 09:21 | Well, I must admit that this surprises me. "Tesla surpassed US motor pioneer Ford in market value" Tesla shares hit all-time high on upbeat deliveries Monday, 3 April, 2017 "Tesla, the upstart electric carmaker, surpassed US motor pioneer Ford in market value on Monday, as investors look to a future beyond the internal combustion engine. Shares of Tesla, founded in 2003, rose 7.3 per cent to a market capitalisation of $48.7bn, gliding past the 100-year-old Ford, whose shares fell 1.7 per cent after disappointing March sales results to a market value of $45.3bn. While it is symbolic for a Silicon Valley start-up to surpass the valuation of a company that helped make motor cars ubiquitous in early 20th century America, car market analysts point out that Tesla achieved the feat based on global deliveries of only 76,000 cars last year, compared with Ford’s global sales in 2016 of 6.6m. “The stock market has always treated Ford like an industrial stock while Tesla has been considered a tech stock,” said Michelle Krebs of Autotrader.com. “Let’s remember: Ford earns money, lots of it. Tesla does not. The real test for Tesla comes when it launches the Model 3, the high-volume, mainstream-priced electric vehicle that is supposed to help the company achieve profitability.&rdquo While Tesla’s stock market value surpassed Ford’s for the first time, the electric carmaker had already surpassed its rival in terms of the broader measure of enterprise value. Based on enterprise value — a more complete measure of companies’ respective values, since it takes account of their net debt or net cash positions — Tesla is worth just under $60bn, while Ford is worth $39.1bn." | littleredrooster | |
03/4/2017 10:43 | 94% of video ads are viewed on television Twitter targets tie-ups with pay-TV broadcasters in live video push James Titcomb 2 April 2017 • 11:40pm Twitter is seeking to ink deals with pay-TV companies that would let subscribers watch live channels over the social network as part of a major video push. The move raises the possibility of full Premier League football games and TV series appearing on Twitter for the first time as the troubled company looks for new ways to grow users. Under mooted deals with broadcasters such as Sky and BT, or equivalents in other countries like ESPN, customers who already have TV subscriptions would be able to link their subscriptions with their Twitter account, giving them access to paid-for channels within the Twitter app. It means that users could watch live Premier League games or TV premieres on Twitter, at the same time as reading and posting tweets about what they are watching. Twitter has been heavily pushing into live TV in recent months. Last year it signed a deal with ESPN to stream Wimbledon matches, as well as buying NFL American football rights. It also livestreamed Sky Sports coverage of the football transfer window’s final day in January. But Twitter is prevented from showing sports events such as the Premier League on the social network because broadcasting rights are fiercely protected by TV companies. Having users log in with their subscription details would fix this by only letting paying subscribers to watch. Twitter is often at its busiest during a major TV event such as a football game or popular series, and the company’s own push into live TV is an attempt to merge the two experiences. Live TV events to date have been presented within the Twitter app as a video at the top of the screen with tweets about the event appearing beneath it. “Bringing the video forward [onto Twitter itself] allows us to give the consumer on one screen the things they’re talking about and [a] timeline of the best tweets on Twitter at that moment in time,” Anthony Noto, the company’s chief operating officer, told the Telegraph. “We would love to have the Premier League… we would love to have live games and we'll continue to try to find creative ways to get there.” Twitter, which has struggled to attract new users and has made continual losses, is pushing into video as a way of both increasing revenues and attracting more people to the social network. | littleredrooster | |

12/3/2017 19:31 | hxxp://www.mrweb.com Banner Year for Newly Named GlobalData February 27 2017 Business information firm GlobalData Plc (previously PDM) has announced final results for the calendar year 2016, including group revenues passing £100m - including organic growth of 24% and the effect of major acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 71% to £20.6m. Originally an ISP, themutual.net (later TMN), the company was acquired in 2009 via a reverse takeover by Progressive Digital Media Ltd (PDM), whose name it took. It also moved away from the ISP model towards a focus on information services. The company, which is chaired by Datamonitor founder Mike Danson, bought GlobalData Holding Ltd a year ago and has since become GlobalData Plc. The last year's results reflect the acquisitions of a number of consumer-oriented businesses from Datamonitor last summer (Datamonitor Financial, Datamonitor Consumer, MarketLine and Verdict) from Informa Plc for a combined £25m; and of healthcare specialist GlobalData Holding, completed in January 2016. The two acquisitions have given the group broad coverage across these three sectors, while the latter of them has added 'management and operational scale' in North America, the firm says. Reported revenue increased 65% to £100.0m. Executive Chairman Bernard Cragg comments: 'The business has performed well over the past year, achieving record levels of both reported and deferred revenues. We have combined three businesses to create a leading global business information company. Our results for the year's trading are encouraging, more so given that for much of the year we focused on integrating the businesses and creating a strong global platform. We are now leveraging this platform to drive significant growth and profitability'. Cragg says the group aims to continue strong organic growth, and make acquisitions that are strategic and earnings accretive, including 'small bolt-on acquisitions that either broaden our offering or extend our client reach in an existing market'. GlobalData has also announced board changes, with Kelsey van Musschenbroek (retirement) and Mark Freebairn due to depart as NEDs, and replacements appointed in Annette Barnes - currently a Managing Director and CEO of Lloyds Private Banking Ltd (subject to regulatory approval), and Andrew Day, Chief Data Officer for J Sainsbury Plc.

12/3/2017 19:29 | GlobalData starts new era with a bang GlobalData's (DATA) bold mission to present consumer, healthcare and information communications technology customers with a single platform capable of "decoding" future market trends quicker than peers sounds almost too good to be true. Based on its performance in 2016, the group, formerly known as Progressive Digital Media, appears to be delivering on those promises. The Aim-traded business information specialist began the year by changing its name to reflect the coming together of three businesses under its wing. The upshot of this new direction, created by a series of transformative acquisitions, was revenue hitting £100m and a 71 per cent rise in adjusted cash profit to £21m. Encouragingly, nearly a quarter of sales were generated organically, while the weak pound only contributed £2.2m to the top line - most of GlobalData's 61 per cent foreign revenue was booked at pre-Brexit vote levels. Investors, who sent the shares up 3 per cent on results day, were also impressed by a 57 per cent rise in deferred sales to £46m and a 0.8 percentage point widening of the group's adjusted cash profit margin to 20.6 per cent. Management expects profit to continue growing as it creates further synergies from previous acquisitions. House broker N+1 Singer forecasts 2017 adjusted pre-tax profit of £20.6m and EPS of 13.6p, up from £17.7m and 11.9p in 2016. IC VIEW: GlobalData's improved visibility, high potential and better-quality earnings don't come cheap. The shares, which have soared 140 per cent over the past 12 months, now trade at 44 times forecast earnings. Back to hold.

12/3/2017 15:28 | hxxps://simplywall.s GlobalData Plc (AIM:DATA): Does Low Debt-Load Make It A Financially Strong Company? Jodi Pearce March 7, 2017 Companies with small market capitalization such as GlobalData Plc (AIM:DATA), while they can deliver high growth, financial strength is the deciding element in their long-term existence. A low debt-load—debt One of the major reasons that they are highly affected by a downturn in the country’s economy or an industry in the region is the lack of geographic diversification. So, investors often choose small-cap funds. While savvy investors aren’t wrong in looking for singular blockbuster opportunities and trying to achieve diversification on their own by allocating a small part of their portfolio capital to small-caps, that doesn’t make these investments less risky individually. However, to help you reduce that risk, I’m going to provide you with few basic aspects other than debt-to-equity ratio to gauge a ballpark estimate on how financially strong is the company. Has GlobalData got enough cash to weather a storm? Despite low debt, for GlobalData to continue operations during a downturn, it needs a sound liquidity position. When evaluating financial strength, I compare a company’s current assets (cash and liquid assets) to its total debt. DATA’s short-term assets (£50M) cover its total debt (£32M), so the company’s debt is not a major concern during adverse circumstances hxxps://simplywall.s Does DATA net enough to cover its debt-costs? A different way of looking at financial health is to compare DATA’s earnings and interest-obligations hxxps://simplywall.s Conclusion Along with a low-debt-load, GlobalData also generates healthy operating cash flows. But the company’s earnings compared to its interest costs are still not at a level ideally expected from a financially strong company. Now when you know whether you should keep the debt in mind as a risk factor when putting together your investment thesis, I recommend you check out our latest free analysis report on GlobalData to see what are DATA’s growth prospects and whether it could be considered an undervalued opportunity. | littleredrooster | |
03/3/2017 01:05 | Amazon said it is adding safeguards to prevent server capacity from falling too quickly Sounds like a good idea. Amazon Finds the Cause of Its AWS Outage: A Typo Thursday 2 March 2017 By Laura Stevens Amazon.com Inc. on Thursday blamed human error for an outage at its cloud-services unit that caused widespread disruption to internet traffic across the U.S. earlier this week. In a post on its website, Amazon said the outage started with a typo at Amazon's North Virginia data centers Tuesday. An employee trying to speed up the company's S3 cloud-storage billing system tried to take a few servers offline. The employee mistyped the command, however, affecting more servers than intended, which led to a cascade of failures that ultimately knocked out S3 and other Amazon services. It also took longer than expected to restart certain services, Amazon said. Amazon said it is adding safeguards to prevent server capacity from falling too quickly or below a minimum level. Amazon Web Services, the largest global seller of cloud infrastructure, has more than a million users. The hourslong outage Tuesday disabled and slowed apps and websites from a wide section of U.S. companies, including Quora Inc., Slack Technologies Inc. and Medium.com Inc. The AWS outage cost companies in the S&P 500 index $150 million, according to Cyence Inc., a startup that specializes in estimating cyberrisks. Apica Inc., a website-monitoring company, said 54 of the internet's top 100 retailers saw website performance slow by 20% or more. | littleredrooster | |

01/3/2017 16:31 | the cloud is getting increasingly more reliable over time Amazon failure disrupts hundreds of thousands of websites SEC and key Apple services hit by outage of web services platform Wednesday, 1 March, 2017 A widespread technical failure at Amazon Web Services hit hundreds of thousands of websites on Tuesday, including the US Securities and Exchange Commission and certain key Apple services, highlighting how the cloud company has become part of the backbone of the internet. The failure, which began around 9:45am Pacific Time, lasted for more than four hours and centred around Amazon’s simple storage service, which is one of its most widely used features and a cornerstone for many web applications. The outage temporarily blocked videos on Netflix and on Amazon’s own website, and caused sites such as Expedia, Slack and Snapchat to function poorly or not at all. Apple, which uses AWS, reported widespread technical problems at the same time, including with its App store, Apple Music and iCloud back-up. “People are sort of realising how much of the internet relies on Amazon,” said Dave Bartoletti, an analyst at Forrester. He added that AWS reliability was still considered to be high despite the outage. “This is not a trend in my view, the cloud is getting increasingly more reliable over time,” he said. The fact that Amazon was able to identify the problem within two hours suggested that the problem was most likely a software glitch, said Mr Bartoletti. Amazon has not specified what caused the error. Earlier in the day, the failure had even incapacitated AWS’s own services dashboard — making it impossible to display updates about which services had been affected — although this was subsequently fixed. Amazon Web Services is the fastest-growing part of Amazon, with more than $12bn in revenues last year, and accounts for the majority of operating profits at the company. It is by far the largest public cloud provider in the US, with more than 10 times as much storage capacity as each of its nearest rivals, Microsoft and Google. While AWS was an early leader in the cloud services market, it has had to contend with increasing competition from its US rivals, as well as competitors overseas such as AliCloud, which is owned by Alibaba. AWS clients include the Central Intelligence Agency and dozens of Fortune 500 companies, including Deloitte, General Electric, Kellogg’s, Comcast and Condé Nast. While the company often says that its reliability is greater than 99.99 per cent, the widespread problems on Tuesday underscore how an outage in one area can quickly ripple across the internet. | littleredrooster | |

10/2/2017 13:17 | hxxp://www.theregist AWS cloud cash share: Bigger than Microsoft, IBM, Google COMBINED Cloud democratising IT? Nah, it's shared by even fewer players 7 Feb 2017 at 12:25, Gavin Clarke AWS sucked up over one third of all cloudy infrastructure sales globally in the closing quarter of 2016 - more than three of its next biggest rivals could muster together. The total IaaS sector grew by a whopping 49 per cent year-on-year to $10.3bn in Q4, according to analyst house Canalys, as a raft of businesses continued to shun capital intensive refreshes of on-premise server estates. In its tenth year of operation, the web services division of Amazon accounted for $3.48bn of sales, giving it a 33.8 per cent market share, while Microsoft, Google and IBM SoftLayer had to make do with $3.17bn between them. “Continuing demand is driving the adoption of cloud infrastructure services, which accelerated the cloud data centre expansion among key service providers,” Canalys stated. In the quarter, IBM rented some rack space from a local data centre provider, as did AWS and Microsoft. All of the American giants are trying to convince UK customers their data is safe in their hands but rather than building new facilities in the country, has chosen to buy extra capacity from someone else. Enterprise IT provider Oracle lagged behind e-commerce giant Alibaba, on 1.7 per cent and 2.4 per cent respectively. The latter has been on a drive to attract enterprises and startups to its cloud with roadshow events in London. AWS is the undisputed IaaS kingpin but revenues of $3.5bn in Q4 was below Wall Street’s expectations by about $100m and so the parent company’s share price took a few knocks. Meanwhile, Synergy Research Group agreed that AWS is king, and said Microsoft, Google and IBM "are gaining ground but at the expense of smaller players in the market." 23 Comments | littleredrooster | |
02/2/2017 22:39 | Amazon Web Services: the secret to the online retailer's future success AWS was launched as little more than a way to buy space and time on Amazon’s computers. Now it powers Netflix, Airbnb and the Ministry of Justice Alex Hern Last modified on Thursday 2 February 2017 22.00 GMT "But there’s another chunk of Amazon that you’re less likely to know about. It’s responsible for a full tenth of the company’s revenues, yet its “operating income” – the amount of money it leaves in Amazon’s coffers once expenses are accounted for – dwarfs any other sector, pulling in $861m compared to the $255m Amazon makes in North American sales and the $541m it loses internationally. The division is Amazon Web Services, or AWS, the section of the company that sells cloud computing services to both the outside world and to Amazon itself. You can buy storage space to hold a huge database, bandwidth to host a website, or processing power to run complex software remotely. It lets companies and individuals avoid the hassle of buying and running their own hardware, while also letting them pay for only what they actually use. It began as almost a point of principle for Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, before evolving to become the single most profitable part of the entire company. Now, AWS is moving into the third stage of its life, providing the underpinning for Amazon’s own quest to dominate not just our shopping, but our homes themselves." | littleredrooster | |

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella: How Azure will fend off Amazon Web Services in the enterprise by Dan Richman on January 27, 2017 at 3:20 pm "Microsoft believes that its unique combination of cloud offerings will hold off market-leading public-cloud service Amazon Web Services in Microsoft’s traditional stronghold of the enterprise, CEO Satya Nadella said in phone call with press and analysts after the release of quarterly earnings Thursday. Microsoft is the number-two public-cloud company, competing energetically with AWS in an ongoing battle of pricing and features. Cloud computing has always appealed to startups, freeing them from the financial burden of buying, housing and maintaining computing and networking hardware. Instant expandability (and contraction, if necessary) of both compute and storage, plus the availability of APIs into esoteric and otherwise-out of reach services such as machine learning and voice recognition, make the cloud an easy choice for new companies." | littleredrooster | |

Azure revenues climbed a whopping 93 percent, or 95 percent using constant currency calculations that account for exchange rate fluctuations. "These results show continued strength in the cloud and especially Azure business," Dave Bartoletti, principal analyst at Forrester, told eWEEK. "While Microsoft does not break out Azure from the broader Intelligent Cloud category (which also includes some server products, cloud services, and enterprise services), the Azure business nearly doubled year-over-year (as it did last quarter), and usage continues to double year-over-year," continued Bartoletti. "Basically, Azure is more than twice the size it was at this time last year, and the growth trajectory is consistent."" hxxp://www.geekwire. | littleredrooster | |
